How to Get the Most Out of Your Reed Diffuser and Refill Oils
Welcome to our quick guide on making the most of your reed diffuser! Reed diffusers offer a low-maintenance, flame-free way to enjoy beautiful fragrance throughout your home. Whether you've chosen from our own Seddon and Davison reed diffuser collection or one of our other carefully selected brands, proper care ensures a long-lasting and consistent scent. Here’s how to get the most out of your diffuser.
Top 5 Tips for Reed Diffuser Care
1. Choose the perfect spot for your reed diffuser
Place your diffuser in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and strong draughts. Heat and light accelerate evaporation, shortening fragrance life. Positioning near a doorway or open space helps distribute scent more effectively.
2. Flip Reeds Regularly
For a continuous fragrance, flip the reeds every 3 - 4 days. This refreshes the scent and prevents the oil from settling at the bottom. If you prefer a milder fragrance, flip them less frequently. Always flip over a non-porous surface to avoid oil stains.
3. Adjust the Number of Reeds for Desired Strength
Use more reeds for a stronger scent or fewer for a lighter, longer-lasting fragrance. Start with five reeds and adjust as needed based on your room size and preference.
New reed styles are emerging, featuring flower-shaped reeds in various sizes. These offer a fun and decorative alternative to traditional sticks while maintaining excellent scent diffusion.
4. How to Maintain Your Diffuser for Maximum Performance
Over time, dust and oil buildup can clog reeds and reduce scent diffusion. To maintain peak performance:
Wipe the bottle regularly to remove excess oil residue.
Replace reeds every 3-4 months to ensure consistent fragrance.
Clean the bottle thoroughly before refilling to prevent scent mixing.
5. Use High-Quality Refill Oils for Long-Lasting Scent
Extend your diffuser’s life with UK-made reed diffuser refill oils. Using premium, slow-evaporating oil ensures a longer-lasting scent. Always replace reeds when refilling for optimal diffusion and freshness.
Final, Safety Tips
Wash hands thoroughly after handling reeds or oils to avoid irritation.
If in eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If skin irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
Keep oils away from open flames and, obviously, never attempt to light the reeds.
Always place your diffuser on a non-porous surface or coaster to prevent damage from spills.
How Long Will My Reed Diffuser Last?
The lifespan of your diffuser depends on the oil blend, room temperature, and airflow. Here’s a general guide:
- 80ml - 100ml Reed Diffuser: Lasts approximately 10-12 weeks
- 200ml Reed Diffuser: Lasts approximately 4-6 months
- Larger Reed Diffusers: Can last up to 8 months, depending on conditions
If your diffuser seems to be running out quickly, check for placement near heat sources, air vents, or open windows, as these can speed up evaporation. Many of our customers tell us that our Seddon and Davison reed diffusers last significantly longer than 3 months.
